My Unfair Godmother

by Janette Rallison

Tansy Miller has always felt that her divorced father has never had enough time for her. But mistakenly getting caught on the wrong side of the law wasn' texactly how she wanted to get his attention. Enter Chrysanthemum "Chrissy" Everstar, Tansy's fairy in shining, er, high heels. Chrissy is only a fair godmother, of course, so Tansy's three wishes don't exactly go according to plan. And if bringing Robin Hood to the twenty-first century isn't bad enough for Tansy, being transported back to the Middle Ages to deal with Rumpelstiltskin certainly is. She'll need the help of her blended family, her wits, and especially the cute police chief 's son to stop the gold-spinning story from spinning wildly out of control. Janette Rallison pulls out all the stops in this fresh, fun-filled follow-up to the popular My Fair Godmother.

I adore this book. I like the easy going, fun way it's written. I like all the characters, including the bad guys. I love Tansy and her morals and adore Hudson. Some of the turns are completely unexpected and seem out of place in a young adult novel but totally work. Also there is plenty of [b:Twilight|41865|Twilight (Twilight, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361039443l/41865._SY75_.jpg|3212258] humor.

One of the things I like about [a:Janette Rallison|184987|Janette Rallison|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1408003574p2/184987.jpg] is that her characters make horrible decisions. And of course really I hate that, but she doesn't give me a reason to hate it. She lets her characters grow beyond their bad choices and lets her heroines be smarter than their bad choices and so I don't hate them the way I should.

I love that this is a book that made me laugh and also grin foolishly and it's exciting at times and oddly profound at others. Mostly it's an awful lot of fun to read.
